SMU is off to its best start in five years as it welcomes Arkansas-Pine Bluff to town Tuesday night in Dallas.The Mustangs (4-0) are coming off a thrilling 87-85 victory over Butler on Saturday, battling back from a five-point halftime deficit. Jaron Pierre Jr. had a game-winning reverse layup with 4.2 seconds left. Pierre finished with 18 points and seven rebounds. Boopie Miller had a team-leading 23 points and 12 assists.For the Mustangs, though, it was the resiliency they’ve shown throughout the early going. They rallied against Butler by shooting 70% from the field in the second half, which featured 34 of their 62 points in the paint.As coach Andy Enfield said afterward, 62 points in the paint “is a lot.””We’re a very good rim team,” Enfield said. “Our guys did a good job of just finishing when we were in the lane.”The 62 paint points are the Mustangs’ most since Enfield took over last season. That is expected to be SMU’s formula for success, Enfield said, as the roster is designed to get to the rim and draw fouls. Eventually, the goal is dominance inside will lead to open 3-point looks.
